BBC Olive Magazine November 2007:
"one of the three best smoked salmon to purchase for Christmas"
Sunday Telegraph Magazine, 5 December 2004:
"Andy Race peat-smoked organic salmon: The excellence of Andy Race's dry and peaty salmon will be remarked upon by even the most unobservant guest. "
The Observer Food Monthly magazine:
Voted the best smoked salmon by Marcus Wareing, Alan Holmes and Jay Rayner:
"WOW! A massive smokey flavour with a big muscled texture that suggests the fish lived a happy life. Some might find it overwhelming, but only if they have no taste.
Terrific. ***** "
Sunday Telegraph Magazine:
"Peat Perfect. There is an almost whisky-like depth to the flavour of this organic peat-smoked salmon from Andy Race Fish Merchants. Thanks to three days' smoking, it is dry, firm and very pale - a real treat".
The Independent Magazine:
Rick Stein's fantasy hamper for sharing with guests on Christmas Day:
"The day starts with Andy Race's salmon, dry-salted, then smoked over peat and oak for three days..."
Rick Stein, Country Walking Magazine:
“Andy Race has a great guiding principle when it comes to the fish he buys from the local west coast fishermen. He simply asks himself, ‘Would I want to eat this?’ Only the fish he answers ‘yes’ to gets on to his counter……..Whatever type of fish you prefer, you're bound to find something you’ll like at Andy Race Fish Merchants.”
